    Sorry, Caryl!  Don't go to Tucson with the idea that you won't miss
    anything unless you have lots  (lots!) of time and great stamina,
    and a profound attention span. Even then you will miss things,
    sometimes under your nose.  It takes days to see the shows, and if
    you are really looking at/for things; trying to learn; to judge
    quality and value,; establish connections; find inspiration and deal
    with the reality of your bank account, you may just want to go back
    to your room at night, go over notes; plan the next days strategy and
    paw through your purchases.  more advice? wear good walking shoes,
    take water, a big enough ( preferably light weight) bag for
    purchases.  Get a safe despotism box at the hotel so you needn't
    carry everything around with you all day. Don't overlook the little
    motel shows ..I've found great bargains and interesting weird stuff
    at them.  Younger cutters establishing themselves are really
    appreciative of their buyers and are less expensive usually than
    people who have already established a great reputation...as is only
    right.   And do look at what you bought and add up your purchases
    every night so your dazed mind has some kind of grip on what you have
    already purchased and how many thousands you are already over what
    you swore was your limit.  Have a great time!! Marianne Hunter
